Losers on Netflix is a gripping docuseries that examines the athletes we don’t always celebrate: the losers. Some episodes follow long-distance runners who not only get lost in the desert — but lose themselves in their ambition, while others focus on how a major loss can affect someone’s spirit, and in turn an entire sport. But one episode of Losers is a must-see for ice skating faces. “Judgement,” the third episode of Losers, focuses on the radiant Surya Bonaly, a French skating star who was held back from success due to the biases of the judges.

Fans of figure skating know that athletes not only have to perform at a dazzling technical level, but must impress the judges with their “artistry.” Because artistic interpretation is a great hazy grey area, this gives judging panels an opportunity to favor skaters who fit a certain mold: willowy, feminine, and often, rich and white. The Oscar-winning film I, Tonya dug into the inherent classism that held Tonya Harding back, but in focusing on Harding’s scandalous story, it missed a bigger issue plaguing the sport: racism.

At the same time that Nancy and Tonya were dueling it out on the ice, an explosively talented skater from France named Surya Bonaly was pushing the limits of the sport. As a former champion gymnast, Bonaly had more power in her jumps, and could pull off a nigh-on-impossible backflip on the ice. Bonaly was supposed to be the best in the world, but the judges often knocked her on “artistry” and “presentation.”

“Judgment” tells Bonaly’s story with archive footage, animation, interviews, and through her own words. After years of being passed over in favor of more docile skaters, Bonaly famously rejected her own silver medal on the ice. The move is still controversial, representing either a triumphant stand against injustice for some, or an offensive temper tantrum for others. Losers lets people on both sides of the debate weigh in, and we get to see how Bonaly has blossomed since then. First, she found incredible success on the professional skating circuit, and now she mentors young women and wannabe skaters with the help and support of her partner.

It’s an infuriating, fascinating, and inspiring story that contains far more heroism than Tonya Harding’s tale, which usurped a huge part of the conversation around skating last year. Here, Surya Bonaly gets her chance to shine, and to have the last laugh.
